Promise of Love
Was that real??
I raised my head and saw
A flower peach in color
Real and breathing
Yes, she was real
I looked her in the eyes
Her hands twinged in mine
My sight turned towards the ground
A shadow in suit embraced one in a long gown
As if a Disney prince just met the love of his life
Moving my fingers gently through her extended hair
I thought, what she was thinking while looking at the moon
She seemed to love light
While I was always fascinated by dark
Our silence annoyed the air
A chilling wave of gale blew through us
Shivering, she moved her head and hand
They were now resting on my chest
That serenity, that peace... I can't explain
Can't believe she accepted my proposal,
But what now.... hearts beating fast
Thinking about future
Light and dark, a perfect match? Or a mismatch?
How would they get along
But why not to trust love
In front of which nothing else matter
I whispered in her ear
She lifted her head up and smiled timidly
Then said, let moon and stars be our witness
She closed those eyes, as I kissed her softly
Moving her lashes with my lips
Breathing each other's breath
Time paused, as we landed in eternity
